Your newsroom has footage proving a beloved national hero committed war crimes. Airing it will tear the country apart during a fragile ceasefire. Do you broadcast tonight?

You’re commissioned to paint a leader you despise for a national portrait. Turning it down will blacklist you; accepting means lending your art to power you oppose. Do you accept?

Your hit true‑crime podcast uncovers a new suspect, but airing the episode without police approval could contaminate the case. Do you drop the episode anyway?

You inherit reels of unseen footage from a dictator’s private archive. Releasing them will rewrite history—and put you in danger. Do you release them?

Your catchy song is being adopted by an extremist group as their anthem. Issuing takedowns will amplify it; ignoring it lets them march to your melody. Do you fight it publicly?

An AI can resurrect a dead actor’s likeness to finish a classic series. Fans want closure; the family objects. You hold the rights. Do you proceed?

A ‘cancelled’ musician’s catalog is offered to you for pennies. Releasing it will reignite painful debates—but the music is brilliant and employs dozens. Do you buy it?

You shot a photograph that proves a war crime—publishing it will expose victims’ identities and put them at risk. Do you publish unblurred evidence or protect them and dilute the proof?

You find out a comedian stole your bit and is going viral. Calling them out will look petty; staying silent means losing your voice. What do you do?

You can bribe judges to secure a life‑changing award for your film. If you don’t, the award will likely go to an inferior piece with a political push. Do you pay?

A platform’s algorithm will bury your documentary unless you insert a controversial, misleading clip. Do you manipulate truth to be seen?

You uncover that a beloved painting at a national gallery was looted generations ago from a poor family. Exposing it will destroy careers and national pride. Do you go public?

You ghostwrote a bestseller. The publisher offers to put your name on the next edition—but only if you agree to claim ideas that weren’t yours. Do you take the credit?

Your film will only be released in your home country if you cut the scene that gives it its moral bite. Do you censor your own work to reach millions, or keep the truth and accept obscurity?

A studio wants to make a biopic about your late mother, using deepfake tech to put words in her mouth she never said. It will fund a charity in her name. Do you allow it?

A renowned photographer offers you a portrait guaranteed to go viral—but it will depict you committing a shocking act you did not do, permanently shaping public perception. Do you agree for fame you can’t control?

You’re offered a stolen painting worth millions at a fraction of its value. Buying it risks prison; refusing means losing the opportunity of a lifetime. Do you take it?

You film a famous actor using drugs in a club. Selling the footage will make you rich and end their career; deleting it protects them. Do you cash in?

You’re editing a documentary. A selective cut will make a subject look cruel and boost views; the fuller context shows they tried to help. Do you keep the dramatic edit or restore the context?
